“so you need a typeface?”
J. sent me this awesome poster created by design student Julian Hansen. I want one to frame!
{ Leave a comment }make your own deodorant
How awesome does this sound? Since Origins stopped making their Totally Pure Deodorant, I’m glad I found this. I haven’t used another deodorant I like, but this DIY project sounds like a winner. Can’t wait to try it at home.

{ 3 Comments }dear muji, .4mm is my fav
I love Muji’s new .4mm pen. The .38mm is a bit too skinny, and the .5mm is just too fat. The only problem is that Muji is selling the .4mm as a seasonal item in the U.S., which means they don’t carry ink refills in stores. What do Muji employees recommend? Order the refills from Japan.

little girl’s dress
I made this dress out of some IKEA bedding I found on sale for $5. What little girl wouldn’t want to wear this?

lattes
Kelley got a new espresso maker for Christmas, and we had lattes this morning. Yum! Trader Joe’s sells D’Aquino espresso. Perfect for making at home. Who needs Starbucks?
{ Leave a comment }it is important to use your hands
Paul Rand was so very correct. One of my goals for 2010 is to use my hands to create more often than I currently do. I will sew, draw, paint, build, cut, and cook.
Check out the poster in the picture. When Eddie made these a few months back, I wanted one right away. It’s my everyday reminder to not be a cow.

fun home projects from 2009
I love Apartment Therapy‘s Best of 2009. Check out their list of 25 DIY Projects That Cost Less than $50. I’ve been working on my own T-shirt quilt for years now. I should really finish it in 2010.

pocky
I love Pocky. They remind me of shopping in Chinatown with my mom as a child. I’ve never seen coconut, though! Yummy.
